Yeah, there are a lot of good big men out there, but Russell just stood out to me. I knew for a fact that he wasn't going to be around 16 picks from now, so I had to pounce.

Totally fine. I figured that would happen, so I just moved from #4 to #5 on everyone's "greatest hockey players ever" list.

Nearly every list of the top hockey players of all time have the same five names, in the exact same order. Gretzky, Orr, Howe, and Lemieux are almost universally #1-4. I will not wait any longer, I...

And Xulu and MIZ just went #1/#2 on the guys I wanted to pick there. Thanks, everyone!

I'll need a minute to consider, but I'll post soon.

Yeah, he was. Granted, in the top 18 picks of all four major sports all time, they had best all be great picks, but Orr was good value above and beyond the usual.

Meh. Keep drinking if you want, but tell Spanky to make his picks anyway. If you two are drunk, better players might slip back down to the rest of us. :deal2:

If we don't get another person to take over, provided we go with 9 instead of 10, we can simply delete Goosey from the selection order, keep what we've done so far, and continue with CP as the new...

Hell, you almost lost Montana immediately. I picked him first overall in Goosey's draft, and very nearly did the same here. (I don't know what it is about me and #1 overall; I'm in an NBA redraft on...

So do the Sixers, who also really ought to consider finding some deal with Miami to dispense with their 1st round pick obligation from the Moultrie deal last year. They can't properly build a team...

I was never the mocker in grade and high school (more often than not the mocked, though by and large I didn't really care what others thought), but if the message from the parent is explicitly "you...

He wouldn't be the first. I talked myself out of Jordan and Montana in favor of the Babe already.

I agree with DonMan; call the insurance agent, and follow their advice.

It says something about Gretzky's dominance (yes, in an offense-heavy era, but even so) that he has roughly 1/3 more points (970 more) than the second-place point scorer all-time, and 1,169 more...

MIZ, once your choice for greatest hockey player of all time is selected, please let me know who. It's been a long time since I've seen any argument for anyone other than Gretzky, and I'd be...

Pulled this from the teams thread.



CP, if you want to use an NHL team (albeit a defunct one), you could use the California Golden Seals / Oakland Seals (same franchise), which was one of the...

And there went the guy I was hoping to take at #20. Had a feeling he wouldn't make it around, but that's life.

The thing about Ruth is that there are a lot of great players who you might argue in...

Yeah, Jordan was one of three names I was considering for the first pick. Obviously I took Ruth, and I won't mention the third because it wasn't Gretzky (only because I was thinking there was a...

OK, I don't want to drag this out, so it's time to begin the draft!

With the #1 pick in the first round of the North American Professional Team Sports All-Time Draft, the City of Philadelphia...

*blink blink*

...Well, I wasn't expecting that. There's a little bit of pressure that comes with the first pick, so I need to make sure I have it right. Now the question is, what sport to start...

OK, so that's at least 4 for hockey (Xulu, me, Fem, Spanky) and at least 4 opposed (Goose, ChildPlease, Patsfan, Bham) with MIZ deferring to the majority.

I guess it hinges on who shows up as the...

If we're calling cities, I'm representing Philadelphia.

What MIZ said, Auggie.

From a selfish standpoint, I want hockey included in this thing, so if you have an interest in drafting all four major sports, rather than just three, I particularly urge...

No, no, I still hate Piers Morgan. Complete and utter twatwaffle, that one.
